MP for Lambussie appeals for lifting of curfew in Hamile
He disclosed that he visited the affected community the day after the incident, accompanied by some security personnel, to commiserate with the bereaved families and visit those receiving medical attention
The Interior Ministry has adjusted the curfew for Hamile Township and surrounding areas in the Lambussie District of the Upper West Region. Previously, the curfew ran from 6pm to 5am, but it has been shortened to 10pm to 4am as of Thursday, November 5, 2026. The change was announced by the Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, following advice from the National Security Council and Executive Instrument.
The original curfew was introduced on Tuesday, November 3, in response to an explosion at Hamile that killed a Ghana Immigration Service officer and injured others. Tension escalated with reports of youth groups gathering to protest the incident. While the curfew hours have been reduced, the ban on carrying arms, ammunition, and other offensive weapons remains in effect for Hamile and its surrounding communities.
Anyone found in possession of such items will face arrest and prosecution. The government has reiterated its appeal for residents, chiefs, opinion leaders, and the youth to remain calm and resolve their grievances through peaceful means.
